Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Sabre (Wood/Leather Scabbard)

Our Cold Steel 1796 Light Cavalry Saber is inspired by the iconic swords used by the British and our allies at the Battle of Waterloo. Its distinctive blade profile is considered by some to have been derived from the Indian Talwar, and it gained such popularity that it remained in use (by the German Cavalry) until the beginning of the Twentieth century! But this is more than just an historically inspired showpiece – it’s a high quality modern sabre that is fully capable of passing the famous British Proof Test for quality and durability. It comes with a part sharpened blade, the blade is blunted from the handle to approximately halfway down the blade and then the blade is sharpened from approximately halfway down the blade to the tip – as per cavalry swords of the day. This version has a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts and fittings.
